We're on the move agin, un this time it's to a proper campsite, e checked last night un there were unny 1 pitch left so he thought 'bugger it I'm booking it', not a bad price either.
We're gonna goo straight to the site cos we cun get in at 12, then the plan is tu gu inta town in the afternoon un have a meal. Ha Ha, best laid plans.
We get tu the site un it's the furthest pitch from the entrance, but it's next tu a nice old English couple, so they as a chat. I con call u old cos e was 85 un er was 83, but they day look it.
Well, them left me in peace on me nice big pitch surrounded by hedges un off they pops. It's not a long walk cos weem right in the town. Lots more shuttered houses, her's just realised hardly any un these houses as gardens, where'd you do yu barby.
They gets down tu the centre ville, un wow, it's beautiful. This town is surrounded by walls, un it as an harbour but in the harbour is an island full of shops un restaurants. Yu con get onto the island by a stone bridge on one side un a swing bridge on tuther side. It's a bikers heaven, un there's loads of um locked up tu just about every bollard u cun find.
The harbours full of boats, all shapes un sizes un the towns heaving with people, but they con see why.
Well, fust stop, yes you guessed it a drink, well it is 1 o'clock un hers gotta tek er pills, good excuse. After, they walks along the right-hand side of the harbour un out towards a lovely beach, passing sum donkeys on the way, but not in trousers.
Then back tu the centre via the light house, un a gallery selling strange statues, like the one dotted around town. Then over the bridge, but there's not much open here., but a lovely church. They've bin on the lookout fu sumwhere tu eat, but yes, you guessed it thems got the timing wrong agin. They've shut after lunch, un dow open till 7.pm it's unny half four, so they as a drink, a bloody expensive one, people watch for a while, un as a think.
As usual there's a lot of fish on the menu, but he'd promised er a pizza, well they ad found a couple of places, shut of course, un they both thought they were pricy so, they as an ice cream while they walks round the lefthand side of harbour un then they gus to the supermarket un buys 2 pizza for tea, cheating but a dam site cheaper, un they were both happy..
One of these days they'll gets this eating out in Feance cracked, but not tuday, but they as both decided this is the best place theys visited this holiday ❤️Read more
